+[On 21 April 2015, Lenovo expanded a recall on Lenovo batteries found in ThinkPad models.](https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/cr/en/solutions/hf004122)
+Libreboot-supported laptops that may be affected by this are the X200 and X200S.
+To find out if you are affected, use [this Lenovo tool.](https://lenovobattery2014.orderz.com/)
+Lenovo advises that owners of the recalled models "should turn off the system, remove the battery,
+and only power your ThinkPad by plugging in the AC adapter and power cord."
+Upon battery verification, Lenovo will replace recalled batteries free of charge.
